Ice Cube: N.W.A Reunion Show Recap

Share:

N.W.A reunited for the first time since 1989 to perform at The BET Experience, which was hosted at The Staples Center in L.A. Hit the jump for photos and a video recap.

I’ve been busy as hell juggling 3 things at once. Finishing the Straight Outta Compton movie, filming Barbershop 3 and putting together the NWA reunion show. I’d been on the phone all week making sure the visuals were right for the show. Flew back and forth from L.A. to Atlanta to rehearse with Ren and Yella. It was like riding a bike. Me and Ren had been on stage together during the UP IN SMOKE TOUR but this was the first time Yella would join us since 1989.

I was working on Barbershop 3, so I had to fly in the morning of the show and went straight to sound check. This was a big show for me. Headlining in my home arena The Staples Center with Snoop and Kendrick Lamar opening up. Home can bring a lot of distractions so I instructed my team to pull out their A-game…and they did. We had that mothafucka rockin’! Check out the day…

Go behind the scenes for the making of Barbershop 3 with Cube, Nicki Minaj, Common, Cedric The Entertainer, and many more in Episode 1 of the making of Barbershop 3. Look for it in theaters early 2016.
